Another note, that perhaps the only one who would understand what i'm talking about is Andrew.


In essence, it's still too much, too heavy and too dear to me.

So i finally went to IKEA to pick up those jars. So busy lately with all the Christmas stuff. Returning home some 3 hours later then what i initially planned, i went upstairs, took one of the lamps and rushed to get a screwdriver to pry it open.

Some half an hour of careful effort later, i realised whole circuit/lamp/batteryholder thing is part of the plastic and aluminum casing itself. So now, i've some 3 canning jars but no real use for them. Shall at least mod one of those lamps into a night light when i'm free. I'm desperately in need of one. Sigh.


Besides the jars, i finally picked up an additional pillow for myself (YAYNESS !) and fascinatingly, the pillow came with an instruction sheet. Amusing really.

Bought quite a lump of fabric lately, cant wait to work on them. Especially SiRong's bunny for his birthday ! Hahahaha.

WHERE ARE YOU MY SHINY PENS WHEN I NEED YOU~~~~~!!!


Okay been binding and binding and binding even more lately that i'm so sick of doing it now. Gahhhhhhhh. I shall go write a bit tonight. Zzzz.

Like a burst of happiness; like a delusion
They stood there grasping for something they would never understand.
'You're my queen without a crown'
They danced, a slow and awkward dance
In the summer rain.

Okay, so yesterday i finally got my long awaited solar lamps. After some one day ++ of charging it still doesnt seem to work. I'm pretty worried now.

Also, had my first bike prac yesterday. It was fun in a weird way. I woke up aching all over - especially my arms since i had to push and pull the bike to put up and put down the main stand. Gawww. Fun fun. Shall book my next prac session soon; once my arms stop aching.


On other notes, i forgot to get Brandon, JianXin and Neighbour to take a photo. Now they're bald, it's like such a sad thing to not have done anything to remember them. Neighbour did the pepperoni trick again last night when his clique was at Bloopie's, trying to coax me down. Didnt bother though, went down later when they were at his place to collect my lamps and give SiRong a Giant Pixy Stix. Which, i heard was abused and used to abuse people the entire night. Sigh. Poor pixy stix.

Okay. I just got made fun of by Titan. So funny. Har ha.

Anyway, besides that, it's good that he rang up, got me distracted from the sudden depression. Hur.

Went out with Andrew (i'm still very sorry) and after searching through all 3 candy shops at vivo (due to BRA's false info) we headed down to Holland Village's party shop. There, i discovered GIANT PIXY STIX. But no small regular ones, so i only picked up the minimum i needed, 10. Still quite happy nonetheless, feel bad for Andrew though.

On another note, Neighbour bought the lamps already. He freaked me out by saying it's not cheap, like some $50*1.3 without mentioning it's for all 10. Got me all panicky thinking it's like for each. Urgh.. I'm spending a ton lately....


And HELLO NIGEL, SIRONG, THE LABEL j. IS NOT REFERRING TO JOHANNA NOR IS IT REFERRING TO JESHUA. AND NO, THERE IS NOT EVEN A DROP OF 'HIDDEN LOVE' BETWEEN US.

Light and chaste
Spine-tingling
Honey sweet
Puddle of moonlight
Drenched in the blood soaked gauze
You once called love

Went out with Esther today. The rain was so heavy that even though i borrowed Wenxin's umbrella, my jeans and shoes were soaked through. Only shopping i did today was pretty much to replace what the rain got to. Bought a pair of (uber) cheap jeans. Ha.

WX wrote me a "Thank you for stalking me" card. So sweet of her. Hahahaha.


Anyway, anyone knows where to find Pixy Stix ? I'll be ultra grateful. Loves.


~*~


Countdown.



Fasten the rose collar
Hold the silver chain in your mouth
Tonight, too, someone will meet his end
You are so despicable
Kneel and lick up
The bitter droplets of love
A blue dressage performed for angels

YOSHI !

I'm praying as hard as i can that less people would upload pictures of me during prom. Anyways, that aside, i met up with Wenxin early this morn to pass her the iPod i collected from David during prom as well as have HOTCAKES! and see her start her shift.

Afterwhich, met up with Eugene (Don) to catch Enchanted (like finally !). As he puts it, "why does it seem that we're always watching bimbo movies together ?". While waiting for him; Neighbour, who was apparently supposed to be in Aussie by then texted me asking for Eugene's number. They seem to be plotting some evil sinister plan. Gawww.

Movie was fine, different i guess. But like all disney movies, there's a happy ending. We went around shopping for a bit and i wandering into Daiso, buying myself a glowing wand and some other random stuff. We got bored enough to visit the arcade. Spend more than 1 and a half hour in there playing the picture difference and (mario) racing game.

Was bloody stupid but fun. I cant believe i got stuck there for so long. Gawww. We went off to dine at that Manhattan fish place and then back to the same two games. The bloody thing cheated our money laaaa. And we ended up buying a mario card so as to get points. It's so unfair that Eugene ALWAYS OVERTAKES ME AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

And i guess i was violent enough they gave me a rank of Battle Driver. Lol. After my second consecutive close-loss they gave me Unlucky Driver. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. And worst thing was we literally got shoo`ed out of the arcade because we stayed till over their closing time ! Hahahahaa.

On way home, i saw WX just as she was about to exit. Seeing she was blasting her iPod, i started waving my wand frantically at the other end. But apparently she didnt notice me. So i squeezed over and tapped me on the shoulder but she still didnt notice me. But while i did so, the guy behind her got quite a shock. Heh.

Eugene and WX spent the rest of the trip talking about how bimbotic i am or something.

Hello Johanna, if you're reading this, you better tell me what are you and Eugene planning. If not i'll bite you when you get home. Love you to bits ! Lalalala~


Today was uber fun though. Gawww. Must. Earn. Money. To. Continue. Lifestyle.

Lift up, lift up and lift even higher up !

Service was as expected awesome. Nick Vujicic really touched many people's hearts there. You can see so many teary faces. Thinking of the grace God has given us, the blessings He has poured out upon us. Indeed, there is no need for circumstance to change but as long as the heart changes and welcomes the Holy Spirit, will all problems be solved.

God has used Nick and lifted him up to a place which i doubt he would've been able to achieve otherwise. Indeed, God's plans will prosper and not harm; will heal us of all pain as long as we've the faith and is willing to listen to His will. Hallelujah !

Of kidnappings and vulture attacks.

I finally managed to somewhat settle my prom stuff yesterday. Managed to get Ting out last minute after her French lesson. Hahaha. Thanks babe. (:

So, we decided to try this new salon which was having this promo before going home at about 9+ we left the salon and boarded the train. I was pretty much either talking to Ting or finishing up American Gods (awesome stuff, go read it people !) so i didnt really notice the crowd. Then, i think it was at kembangan, i looked up towards the door and saw this Mustika-lookalike with a friend (only saw her profile, so couldnt identify her). She was looking at my direction but didnt seem to recognise me, hence i believed that i must have been mistaken. I decided that i shall text Mus once i alight to ask if that was her.

Alighting the next stop at Bedok, i stood up as the train was entering the station and walked towards the door. There, i came eye-to-eye with this Wenxin look-alike, which i discovered really is Wenxin ! After that 'stunning moment', i heard someone (either WX or Jehanne - who turns out to be the girl with Mus whom only the profile faced me) say my name. Glancing around, in addition to WX, i saw Jehanne - whom initiated the kidnap, Elvis - whom as usual tried to distant herself from them by standing by the door, keeping quiet and yes, turns out the Mus-lookalike really is Mus.

Dumb thing is, i suspect they were playing some sort of "let's push you out of the train game" and so Mus shoved me off the train (at Bedok) but before i could mutter a goodbye, Jehanne dragged me back in and subsequently i went with them on a short tour of the newly 'opened' T3 (the same greenhouse me and JX went to on our last study-trip) while they waited for David.

While at T3, Nigel (Lim) rang up.

Initial thought: OH CRAP. DONT TELL ME HE'S HERE WITH RACHELLE/SIRONG/EUGENE/JOHANN/XIWEN.

So right upon answering the call, before Nigel could even utter anything, i went chanting "please dont tell me you're at the airport". He gave me a good news, bad news situation. He, or should i say they werent at the airport, BUT they were at the playground near my area.

After 'prank calling' David to go to T3 with me. WX and i who needed to reach home soon left. Not before they rang David up to enlighten him about my presence there with them. Hahahaha.

Later when i reached home, at about 11.30pm, i thought the idiots were off already. So i texted Nigel asking if they were out skating again tonight. Then, i went to Mum's room and bitched to Mum about stupid stuff that happened while me and Ting were looking for my stuff.

Not long after i started, an unknown mobile rang me. Picking up, a male voice requested me to open up the gate as my double pepperoni and cheese pizza's arrived (HA. I WISH.)

Thinking it was Nigel usign SiRong's number, i laughed and walked to the windows at my room. There, after some careful scrutising i saw this guy in white hiding behind the car. Mentioning it to the guy over the phone, three heads popped out. Turns out i was wrong, it was Eugene on the phone (no wonder he kept asking "do i sound like nigel" when i said "nigel, not funny". Oh well.

Following that, they continued trying to coax me out of the place while the guys bladed round and round in circles like vultures waiting to strike on its prey. Only difference is that i'm the one looking down upon them. Heh. I noticed that Jo wasnt there and only when Eugene hung up (because i refused to call in) did i hear a fourth voice by the car shouting that he's not there.

The vulture attack went on for some 10 to 15 minutes.

The happenings were stupid, dumb, annoying but nontheless funny, sweet and quite an awesome was to end the day. Seeing so many people i have not saw in a while in such a short time was really quite a treat. Now, to finally arrange that date with Andrew. Ha.

On a happier note, i'm getting the sub card today. :D

life so far

Hello all you people in the land of the one-eyed monster. Been rather busy lately bringing Yanyi around my usual craft haunts; i'm pretty surprised that she doesnt know where Bras Basah is since she does do quite some stuff herself.

ANYWAY, due to my mistake, the poor girl has to pick up coptic binding first. HA. Like how ignorant me learnt that some 4 or 5 years ago without knowing it's a harder binding style - much prettier though.

On other notes, i'm still jobless (unemployment rates are so high nowadays), wondering if famous amos is hiring. Or like what Cornflake and i thought of that day, work at Macs for a month and steal the hotcakes formula ! Hahahahaha.

Regardless, been in bugis/chinatown lately doing major stock-up for Christmas (anyone wants notebooks?), Justin joked that he wanted 200 copies at 8 bucks apiece for the company. Gah. I'll only earn a miserable 2 or 3 dollars for every piece ! And unless i get the paper cutter (hint hint !) , doubt i'll do anything large-scaled now. Small firms dont get to enjoy much internal EOS. ):

And there are so many newer shops around Bras Basah, there's an awesome paper shop there people - not Paper House - that stocks quite a bit of variety of paper. But a tad costly, as usual. Really love walking around the building, the craft shops, book shops and print shops. In addition, there's another new graphic print shop there, they had grafitti on the wall, pretty nicely done too (DUH !). It seems like all these shops located around the area are targetted at idiots like me (External EOS). But really, this reminds me, ANYONE DOES VECTOR ART ? I'm pretty keen in learning more about it. Hahaha.
